@npub1ev6…nh08 that is an ace map. when you zoom way in on sf, t-mobile (my current provider) shows holes that the others don't seem to have

> During the game, the A’s stadium camera crew didn’t show any fans wearing the “sell” t-shirts on the big screen, opting instead to show clips of fans from past games.
priceless.
i remember the coliseum before mt davis. but i honestly don't know how one would fix the situation in these times with that ballpark (and without making taxpayers cough up megabucks)

@npub1ev6…nh08 this one is outdoors. however, this did not stop me at all from cramming into the warfield for one of my more usual 'who's the old over there' shows

this weekend i shall be going to my first age-appropriate concert since, i think, springsteen in the early noughties. it is perhaps fortunate that i'm not allowed to bring a weapon to the venue

@npub1ev6…nh08 it's a dangerous moment. if they can convince everyone sf is indelibly broken, they can go for another round of clear-cut redevelopment in the name of progress. and they're trying.

@npub1ev6…nh08 i would argue it's impossible for a market economy to truly prioritize equity. and then you try to find the least foul outcome. and then you get the 'black swan' - covid, nazis, multi-theatre war. who always gets the shaft? it's not jpmorgan

@npub1ev6…nh08 nothing is ideal, nor is anything truly zero-sum… the only truth is that if one thinks he has it, he doesn't have it. i have strong views on this that i mostly keep to myself because i end up arguing with myself in the mirror. every second sentence is, well, shit. huh. (or, think of economists in bloom county.)

@npub1ev6…nh08 @npub1tze…av5u cities have made planning decisions that presume high density in one area and daily commutes to and from there. the right decision, whatever it is, does not involve most people going into and out of such areas every day. transit effectiveness requires density; i fear that cities become slightly higher-density versions of what today we call suburbs, with the auto dependence that implies

@npub1tze…av5u @npub1ev6…nh08 i hesitate to be that guy who brings a stock chart to a fistfight, but nordstrom has been sick for a very long time. if they were keeping the downtown location open but not stocking it, hoping it would come back, they had the sort of magical thinking that is common to many failing stores

@npub1ev6…nh08 @npub1ema…z20p the world is full of despots, despots everywhere. but there's something bizarre about an intelligent place that uncritically swallows this stuff

@npub1ev6…nh08 @npub1kpl…7jz3 for the arts, performing v visual is a rough divider between who uses youtube and insta today. i would hesitate to push a non-tech org into either peertube or pixelfed yet; they 'feel' less mature than masto to me and are likely harder to administer. framatube are a (the?) driver behind peertube; their public site is easy to 'get', but learning curve, reach, and network effect could leave non-techies disappointed

is there anywhere that has researched who is behind the flurry of HappyMoneySF political groups? #[0]
